Lawyers for Yoon, a suspended South Korean president who was recently released from detention, stated that the ruling confirmed the problematic nature of his detention both procedurally and substantively. Yoon still faces an insurrection trial and a separate trial regarding his December impeachment. The Corruption Investigation Office for High-Ranking Officials expressed regret over his release, while the main opposition Democratic Party called it an act of surrender. The release has further polarized the country between conservatives and liberals, with supporters and opponents of Yoon expressing conflicting views. Supporters like Kang Min Woo hope his release will lead to the reversal of his impeachment and see it as a step towards dealing with anti-state forces. However, opponents like Park Hyun-min view Yoon’s release as a cowardly act that exploits legal loopholes. Yoon’s approval rating has reportedly rebounded, and there is anticipation for a ruling from the Constitutional Court later this month regarding his impeachment. Despite the divided opinions, the release of Yoon has sparked strong reactions and further political tensions in South Korea.
